I fell in love with this frame/floral image from the new Framed Florals stamp set. First, I white heat embossed my floral frame. Then, I decided to watercolor my image with a few Distress Inks real "messy-like" and then trimmed out my image by hand.
I layered this over a panel of vellum and a very light gray pattern paper. Just wish you could see this in person! For a little extra detail, I added tiny tiny drops of Glossy Accents!!
